Partner Interval Cardio Training with Resistance Bands

Fitness Band BootcampBy Dave Schmitz of ResistanceBandTraining.com

Looking for an easy and exciting way to crank up your interval cardio training for your bootcamps??  I have just the solution and it doesn’t matter what type of clients or space you host your camps in.

Partner Interval running in bands is one of the safest, easiest, low space, and cheapest ways to get a great running cardio workout.

Let me address the issues.

Band running is unsafe

That is totally not the case.  As a matter of fact, partner band running is all acceleration with essentially no deceleration impact.  Since deceleration is what causes injuries, you will immediately find out that your clients will do better with band running than if they just tried to run on their own.

The Resistance Band Running Matrix Mayhem

By Dave Schmitz of Resistance Band Training

Cardio is one of the most difficult aspects of fitness to create variety within a bootcamp training environment.  I know that interval strength training is the key and yes you can do high volume sets to crank up the heart rate but sometimes it’s just fun to do some sprint work.

Unfortunately, not everyone can safely do sprint work and aggressive shuttle training due to degenerative joint issues, lack of hip stabilization strength, coordination concerns or just because the risk of injury is too great.

No question these were concerns of mine before I started seeing the impact of resistance band running and how everyone in my camp could do it without issues as long as we trained them in a progressive manner with the correct size of band.

No I do not have any research on what I am about to tell but I have tons of “Real world” results which is all I need to sell my campers on it.
